EVOLUTION‘S COMMON ANCESTOR GOES MISSING
from Edgar Andrews’ Onefootinglory Podcast · host onefootinglory
In this episode we look for the alleged common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees and find that it has gone missing. No one knows what it looked like, how long it took to 'evolve' into chimps and humans repectively, how it overcame Haldane's dilemma of impossibly long 'waiting times' for the fixation of a genetic change, or why over the same period of time it evolved into another ape (the chimp) while at the same time evolving into humans having the ability to analyse the DNA of chimps and design zoos to accommodate them. Curious. FOR AUDIO ONLY GO TO (note that for some reason this link is taking time to come up on screen; if the link fades out when you click on it, IT IS WORKING!) https://edgarandrews.podomatic.com
